Cities: Skylines II - St. Luke (Part 1) - English Rural Village

Ойындар

The kind people over at PDX allowed me to have an early go at the long-awaited Cities: Skylines II, along with many core members of the community - what better to do than to start a timelapse build right away in a theme that the game perhaps wasn't specifically built for?
This is just my attempt at figuring out just how realistically C:S II allows the player to lay out roads, landscape, add nature, and organically grow a city inspired by a specific part of the world. For a vanilla game, I think it's doing pretty well. I already can't wait to see how I can develop the town over the next few weeks - and how the game will develop over the coming years with what seems to be a very strong foundation!

    The fact that you can do this from the start in the game is awesome. In CS1 you would have to build up a small support area first and unlock so much stuff before you could build a town like this with the limited money at the start.

    For English towns and cities, I like naming them using a bit of wordplay with English pronunciation rules. Make little names that sound plausible until you try to say them out loud, and you find yourself saying something else entirely. Examples include Strawbury, Hamcester, Moncester, Egsenham, Seaswick, Spelcaster, or Whytewich.

    I live in Northern Ireland so most place names look like gibberish compared to England’s place names because they come from anglicised versions of the original Irish names, so in cities skylines I name places in Irish based on the geography and then I anglicise it. It’s so fun. For example, a town that’s beside or inside a valley. I will call it Glenn géar, meaning Steep valley in Irish, then I will anglicise it to “Glengar” to give it its English name.

    I think one of the biggest selling points for the game is the development tree. With more variety and specializations it could really make each city different. Like a tree that taps into the media demand allowing the city to host a movie industry, or a vineyard distributer, not to mention the various upgrades to buildings. It's got a lot more potential than CS1. You can see that from how accurately you caught midlands UK in the beta build, which you couldn't for a few years after base CS1.

Not realistic at all, should be able to choose from one (or both), not that much difference between tram and train. Stuff like this made me have to mod CS1, just to make a city that starts with a railway station.

Some of the farms are a little funky looking at this time but I think the way you planned it out helped it blend significantly better than what I’ve seen others do so far.

    The rural area looks about right, and hedgerows and mature trees are needed! Drainage ditches, coppices, ponds, woods, hills, rivers, canals... your English town is a little too grid based, most towns started around a market square, or a crossroad, or a river crossing, and are very very tightly packed in old town centres, with 20th century estates being more spacious-ish? A good example of a small historic town to learn from would be Buckingham.
